Feature:
Included cable wrap is a nice touch. Shame the cable doesn't work...
Ease of Use:
How hard is a mic cable to use?
Quality:
See below. Cable arrived defective.
Value:
See above. Cable arrived defective and Monster wouldn't replace it without returning it at my cost.
Manufacturer Support:
This cable was bad right out of the package - at least one pin not connected, so it produced the most glorious hum. Ah, but Monster has a Lifetime Warranty, you say? Sure. So I sent them a message, and didn't get a response for over 2 weeks. Then I requested an RA number for my address. Well, I work for the US military outside the US, and only have a Mil Post mail box. And guess what? Monster won't deliver to a box, only a real street address. So I gave them that, which they turned over to a distributor in the country where I live, and those folks contacted me (about a week later) with an RA number for their shop. Well, postage over here is about 3 times more than in the US, and I pointed out to them that the cable was defective and should be replaced at no cost to me. No, I'd have to pay the postage. So, a $30 cable just became a $45 cable (plus the inconvenience of traveling to a local PO when the US one is right where I live). That's fine. Last Monster product I buy, and I told them that. But “it's not our policy to pay for shipping” a defective cable back to them for replacement. Okay, but what about attracting and keeping paying customers? Apparently not a real concern…And BTW, my $12 mic cables that I've had for years have given me absolutely no issues and sound fine. And if you're still buying into the Monster hype, if you really think there's a difference in audio quality, check out the blindfold test where "audiophiles" couldn't tell the difference between Monster speaker cable (pricey!) and coat hangers. Can't include the link, but it's easy to find; just search for the key words. I found it while trying to find their contact and warranty info.
My recommendation? Save some bucks and don't pay for hype.
